About GameChanger Girls & Allies

We are creating a safe space for experimentation, design, innovation and sharing for a global community of girls. At the conclusion of  the first pilot of this program, we asked the girls where they wanted to go with this program. They said, very loudly, that they wanted to play other games designed by girls, to get to know other girl game designers and players about the world and to feel part of a community.  We have run across Australia and New Zealand since that time. In 2026 we are expanding that community to become a truly global program.

​

GameChanger Girls (and Allies) is a no cost esports program for girls aged 10 -15 years old. We invite girls curious about game design and play (not esports necessary) to form clubs and join the community. The major difference in is this esports league to many others is that our teams design the games that we compete over.  

 

Once again for Year 5&6 of schooling we will are also supporting teams in the Dell sponsored Girls Who Game program, where girls in teams will design an interactive program or game to meet a world challenge. Last year one of our teams placed 2nd in the People's Choice Awards.

​

In 2026 we have the opportunity to sponsor competitor teams in live play and design competitions such as:

• Girls in Gaming tournament days

• FUSE Cup Minecraft Tournaments as well as support team entries into the

• Australian STEM Video Game Challenge

• Global Games for Change Student Game Challenge.

​

The girls design interactive games in Minecraft, or other game design tools they are familiar with (Scratch, Godot, Unreal Engine, etc). For our esports program, we play each other’s games, then the girls all review and vote. The game or games deemed “most playable” become the focus of our tournament. In tournament mode the girls then host the games that we race or battle in to identify our champions.

 

We will host an online information session on International Women's Day March 8th to share and celebrate out program and students.

 

We want to focus on 4 championship areas:

1. Community Engagement Award (ranked on engagement in our Flip community)

2. Game Design Award (voted by community play testers)

3. Tournament Awards (battle it out in the game/s)

4. Grand Champion Award (points earned across all three aspects).
